X5600 To DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Spare Wheel Carriers. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}7/WJ.4.5.31. X.7600. X.5600. Following the decision arrived at at W.W. we are issuing a Standardisation Sheet for carrying the spare wheels at the side both on the Phantom 2 and the 20/25 HP, and now that it has been decided that the wheels will be carried at the side and can stay at the side, you may wish to go over the design of carrier again. You will certainly, we hope, wish to simplify the luggage grid. It would be useful if you could write a note explaining what the proposals are for each car. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
